When Blogs Meet the Mainstream

March 22, 2007

Tomorrow (Friday) at 2:30 PM eastern time, Matt Bai of the New York Times Magazine and Gina Cooper of YearlyKos, and DailyKos front-page writer McJoan will be the special guests on Heading Left’s Blog Talk Radio show. This should be a very interesting show. Aside from his upcoming book on Democratic politics, Bai and McJoan will be moderating “an unprecedented forum featuring potential 2008 presidential candidates during the second annual YearlyKos Convention on August 4th in Chicago.” Bai’s book, “The Argument: Billionaires, Bloggers, and the Battle to Remake Democratic Politics”, is scheduled for release in early September 2007. Also, “Dr. Jeffrey Feldman, author and blogger at Frameshopisopen.com, will ask questions submitted in advance from tens of thousands of blog readers and will facilitate questions from convention attendees.” Tune in tomorrow and feel free to call in at (646) 652-4803 to speak with Matt Bai, McJoan, and Gina Cooper. This should be an exciting show, hosted by Nate Wilcox of HeadingLeft and guest host Dave Johnson of SeeingtheForest filling in for the vacationing James Boyce.

Blogtalkradio - -It’s Called Empowerment

March 18, 2007

I was searching through Technorati earlier today and I came across a post from a new host who posted on myspace. If you want to check out the blogosphere buzz about Blogtalkradio, I encourage each of you not only look through Technorati but Google Blogsearch.
Anyway, he goes on to say:

Well unfortunately, I never really went into the journalism field, I have very little experience on the radio (although i do call into radio shows), and they really just dont hand out radio shows to people….or do they? BlogTalkRadio is a website that is a website that gives people like myself a chance at the airwaves. They provide you with everything you need to produce your own show: a switchboard online that shows who is on the line currently, who is on hold, a separate phone # for people to call in, an option for people to IM you with their opinions, or email…whatever tickles their fancy.

My friend Jacque just recently started her own show on there and im telling you what, im soooooo doing this. Whether people call in or IM or participate, I dont really mind. But I am going to do this.

I couldn’t say it better myself; so I won’t.

Welcome aboard.
